Deadpool, This Is The End and We Are The Millers come to mind
Sisters, Kill The Boss 2 and Neighbors were pretty crappy though, super low-brow and zero original ideas. Harhar middleaged couple does marijuana. Harhar young neighbors are loud and obnoxious. Harhar totally different wacky sisters are totally different. Etc. Etc.

Spy. One of the best casts in recent comedy and very, very funny. Particularly Jason Statham making a mockery of his action guy persona.

I hadn't heard of Spy, I'll check that out.
Also, We're The Millers is one that I had wanted to see, but kinda forgot about.
Thanks to everyone who's been participating in this thread, I'm getting a lot of laughs from most of these suggestions.

Pleasantly surprised by Adam Sandler's Do-Over. Return to form IMO. Watched it and couldn't believe how good it was. Not only a return to form for Sandler, but for once David Spade actually seemed to be playing a character instead of himself. Just caught this on Netflix. It really isn't bad at all, and is quite an easy watch. More than pleasantly surprised here. Good story and minimal slapstick. Of course Sandler/Happy Madison stigma will have critics shitting on this.

Of course Sandler/Happy Madison stigma will have critics shitting on this. I honestly don't get it sometimes. Not all his recent movies can be painted with the same Adam Sandler sucks brush. Blended and Pixles were both funny as hell to me. Pixles is legit one of my top favorite movies ever. I think people see his name now and automatically think it sucks weather its good or not.

Yeah, it was rediculous, stupid, and not a "good" movie but I love the absurdity of "That's My Boy." But the won that bothers me the most is "Funny People." That imo was a legitimate "good" movie albeit a little long. Great elements of comedy and drama. Roger Ebert gave it a good review, but that's about it.

I've seen and loved everything you listed except I haven't heard of Hail Caesar and haven't gotten around to binge watching Rick and Morty yet (though it is on my list of shows to watch). Mainly I'm quoting you though to give another shout out to Keanu, that movie was hilarious.

The movie itself is a lil flawed (I think their style plays best for short sketches) but it's got some awesome moments. And the cat is cute AF too. Hail, Ceasar is the Coen Brothers at their dryest of humor (ala Burn After Reading) but Clooney, C-Tates and especially the guy who's eventually playing Young Han Solo give really funny performances in it. Rick and Morty is one of two shows I've ever binge watched. Smart and funny.

^^^^
The two of you just did such a good job putting it over that it is now at the top of the list. I'll watch it as soon as I finish my chronological Marvel rewatch (I'm doing the Movies, One Shots, and all the shows in chronological order).

It's pretty seasonal, but The Night Before is another good one. Anthony Mackie is hysterical in it.
